Traveling with the team, was one parent chaperone, and their coach Mr. Vidal Permuy, who said: “The day started off with huge emotion with Joden’s Silver in Patterns, and then seeing both of my boys on the podium, placing 1st and 2nd in Patterns! The kids returned to the mats shortly after for sparring where Joden took first place, and in no time the boys were back up on the podium, placing 1st and 3rd. They may have the trophies to prove it now, but they have always been my champions.”
